which 5 speed for a GLD.

[gldgti]

i didnt notice any difference in the first 4 gears over the old diesel 4 speed that box is now in my LS, and with the 1800 and big carb, i can do 100 in 2nd (although the speedo's probably a little out)

You will need the sandwich plate from the cordoba and either source a pair of 90mm flanges or mod your drive shafts to accept the cordoba 100mm inner cv joints.

can you please tell me what is involved to swap out the inner cv. Will the shaft have the same spline as the new CV?

cheers

CHB apparently has .85 ratio fifth gear 3.67 final drive

CHB17025

14 7

If i get around to it I will have to put in a .71 fifth when the 1.9 goes in. Got the joss from Matt on the CV's I am going to have to machine the collar back a little. I couldn't see the code for the CHB in the chart posted earlier, thinking the box is an 05 model, to late for the chart

check the techtonics link. CHB is listed there. a couple up from the VW motorsport ratio listings.

I dont think a CHB would be worth it, with out a 5th gear swap, since factory it has a .85 5th, which means it'll be spinning harder than a 4T, FF, CHD. For me, it's out of those three boxes atm.

not much I can do about it now, but anything beats the four speed, once I am on top of the trivia I will build a custom box with the taller fifth gear
